Description
Input C/C++ Header
static int take(struct { int x; int y; } s, int t) { return s.x + t; }
Bindgen Invocation
$ bindgen input.h --wrap-static-fns --wrap-static-fns-path wrap -- -x c -std=gnu11
Actual Results
bindgen exits 0. The generated wrapper is:
#include "input.h"
int take__extern(struct _bindgen_ty_1 s, int t) { return take(s, t); }
struct _bindgen_ty_1 is not in the header. clang:
wrap.c:5:25: warning: declaration of 'struct _bindgen_ty_1' will not be visible outside of this function
wrap.c:5:39: error: variable has incomplete type 'struct _bindgen_ty_1'
codegen/serialize.rs prints struct {canonical_name} for TypeKind::Comp. For an anonymous record that name is _bindgen_ty_N. A named struct S { int x; int y; } wrapper prints struct S and compiles.
Same thing for an anonymous union (union _bindgen_ty_1).
This is not #3403 (pointer-to-array declarators) or #2805 (_Bool vs bool).
Expected Results
The wrapper should use a C type that is complete after #include "input.h" (the original anonymous type, or a tag defined in the wrapper).

- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with codegen/serialize.rs, especially the TypeKind::Comp handling that emits struct or union names, and reproduce the issue with the bindgen command in the report. Check the generated wrapper for anonymous struct and union parameters; done means the wrapper uses a complete type after including input.h while named-record wrapping continues to compile.
